Defense in Charlie Kirk’s killing say shooter hit the ‘intended target,’ did not endanger others
[]

Lawyers for the man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk say he shouldn’t be eligible for the death penalty because the shooter “hit the intended target” during the assassination last year at a Utah event attended by thousands of people.
The defense lawyers also disputed claims that Robinson targeted Kirk over his political views.
Prosecutors alleged that Robinson told his roommate that he killed the activist because he “had enough of his hatred.”
The arguments were contained in documents filed late Tuesday as the defense tries to block the case from proceeding to trial.
His defense attorneys during that hearing questioned the reliability of the prosecution’s evidence, but they didn’t offer any alternative theories for Kirk’s assassination.
